Can anyone out there tell me what this stamp/mark means and what age and area it might be from.Thanks

Just a suggestion.

The mark contains two of the elements 示 and 田 of the commonly used single character 福 so I think this is possibly an idiosyncratic simplification.

Thanks so much for the response mike oz,re:'-mark contains 2 of the elements 示 and 田 of the commonly used single character 福 so this is possibly an idiosyncratic simplification'.
Any idea on when & where this piece was made ? Again,thanks so much-John

I think this is Japanese, late 19th century perhaps? Maybe a Japanese "fuku" mark then?

Thanks Madria-Sounds good to me.

Any guesses what kiln created this & what painting style this would be called ?
Such as Arita,Kutani,etc-Thanks Much.

Sorry for the delay. If I had to venture a guess I would classicaly say Imari ware from the Arita kiln sites.

With kind regards

Madria

Thanks so much for your educated opinion Madria-
it really helps my study.
Is there a website where I can find more examples of this kind of porcelain painting style ?
To me this artwork has very little 'wash' in it. What i mean is-on many plates the lines are sketched in first,then areas of tone are brushed on-this image is mostly lines.
Thanks Again-John
